Episode Notes

Think about it… we know more about our fantasy football leagues and cars than our own health. Something needs to be done about that.

Alex is the Founder and CEO of Eternal. Before founding Eternal, Alex was the founder and CEO of The Athletic, a subscription sports media company founded in 2016. The Athletic reached 1M paid subscribers faster than any publishing company in history and sold to The New York Times in 2022 for $550M. Prior to The Athletic, Alex ran Product & Design for Strava, helping the platform go from 800 users to 10s of millions. Originally from Philadelphia, Alex lives in Presidio Heights with his wife, two kids, and golden retriever. 

Jon chats with Alex about:

  • Alex's Journey as a Runner and Endurance Athlete

  • Building Strava's Growth and Community

  • The Athletic's Creation and Success Story

  • Founding Eternal and Its Mission

  • Leadership Philosophy and Team Building
